PLAYING IT COOLâ Matthew McConaugheyWell done, Matthew McConaughey â he’s a man who knows how to have a good time. Fresh from extolling the virtues of caravanning holidays while promoting Failure To Launch, Matt was papped on a ‘threeday bender’ in Costa Rica, looking sliteyed and slurring and rolling on his back on a beach.

It’s not all giddy cavorting for Matthew, though. The big-hearted Sahara star is flogging his Chevy Corvette Stingray on eBay because Oprah Winfrey told him to. ‘I love that car,’ says Matt, still famous for his intoxicated naked bongoplaying antics of 1999 which got him arrested for noise violation,’but I have everything I need. The sale of it will help so many.’

The proceeds will go to Oprah’s personal charity, Angel Network. It’s a snip at $42,000 (£22,700) but the auction’s still got a week to go.

â EminemHis pal Proof was recently shot dead and his second go at marriage to wife Kim ended in disaster after a few weeks, so it’s no wonder Eminem wanted to cheer himself up a bit. Cue a trip to Detroit’s Cheetah’s strip club. While there, Em admired the strippers and visited the toilet â where mayhem ensued. A fan pestered Em while he was relieving himself and was warned to be quiet by Em’s bodyguards. When the boozeloving blond had done his business, he started punching in all directions, allegedly lamping an innocent bystander. ‘I wasn’t expecting it,’ the man says. ‘I was just minding my own business.’ So why is this a good week for Em? The alleged victim’s dropped the assault charges! Wa-hey, get the Cristal out.

I Pity The Foolâ MadonnaIt’s a well-known fact that infants and the elderly are most at risk from summer’s soaring temperatures â so geriatric pop purveyor Madonna took her life in her claws when she demanded that the air conditioning be turned off during her Madison Square Garden show. The Material Grandma was supposedly worried the air con would have an adverse effect on her vocals, which, let’s face it, aren’t much to write home about at the best of times. This forced her fans to sit through a sweltering show that topped 32ÂºC (90ÂºF) in the auditorium. ‘I was suffocating,’ says one fan. ‘It was really bad,’ says another. Talk about adding insult to injury â she’s already pumped her British followers for up to Â£160 a ticket. She’s presumably planning a lavish retirement.

â Carmen ElectraIt was only back in April that halfbaked saucepot Carmen Electra cooed to Metro that her and rock guitarist husband Dave Navarro were ‘best friends’ which ‘is the key to communication. It’s the healthiest relationship I’ve ever had’. Well, all good things come to an end â and now the pair, whose wedding preparations were chronicled in MTV reality show ‘Til Death Do Us Part, is heading to the divorce courts. To make matters worse for Carmen, whose cinematic classics include Cheaper By The Dozen 2 and Scary Movie 4, rumours are rife that Dave’s been having it away with a ‘socialite’. ‘It’s totally untrue,’ rages Dave on his blog. ‘Carmen and I are supporting each other through this difficult time.’ Oooh, get him.
